My name is Anne Bligh, and I came to Ashburton as a child in 1961 when my Mum and Dad, Eve and 'H' Lowell, bought The Paper Shop at 6 North Street. I met local boy Robin at the youth club in Stapledon Lane (yes, I know, it is really Back Lane or even Cad Lane - but the Post Office dictates otherwise). Robin and I later married and have lived in the town ever since.
In 2012 I
joined Ashburton U3A's history and archaeology group, and became
enthused about Ashburton in the past. This website is the result.
